I wanted to say thank you to the guys (mostly) and gals who have written to me, and to my outward amazement said that they'd actually read what I'd written here and sympathized with my sentiments. That was a nice extra to lighten up an otherwise dull day.
As for me and my trite complaints, there's nothing really new to say. Time passes, hope waxes and then gets crushed again. I find myself drinking a few beers, and sitting here writing this. Did I mention that another nurse asked me out on a boat trip with her? Or that when I said that I was busy she dropped the fact that she would be spending the evening sunbathing in a particular park (oh yes, we do get very long sunny evenings here in Oslo). Or the bewitchingly beautiful 17 year old girl I train with who has nudged herself close into my secrets and keeps offering me succour (don't worry; there's a whole essay to be written about this kind of relationship, but I believe that my place for her is not as a lover but as a friend. Although I would lie if I said that when awake, late and alone, I don't imagine what would happen if I did take advantage of her offers).
So once again, a distance travelled, but no closer any goal. I do think that this website is fantastic however, and it never dulls with what it provides. From the lowest of the low - the sleazy web-porn peddlers who pass off stolen pictures as their own, through the lonely edging-on desperate men who post themselves hoping that someone might notice and pull them away from their loneliness and allow them to blossom as they should (I maybe count myself amongst this number), to the gorgeous and the sexy individuals, headstrong and horny showing themselves off proudly, and then the gods of the website - the lovers who have found the strength to expose their love proudly before the rest of us.
Chah! One more beer drunk, one more entry in this peculiar web-place. Not unhappy, not content, just living. |
